G.Skill Trident Z DDR4-3400 16GB Memory Review

G.Skill Trident Z DDR4-3400 16GB Testing:

PCMark 8: With this benchmark, I will be running the Home and Creative suites. The measurement for the both test suites will be the total score.

Geekbench 3 provides a comprehensive set of benchmarks engineered to quickly and accurately measure processor and memory performance. Designed to make benchmarks easy to run and easy to understand, Geekbench takes the guesswork out of producing robust and reliable benchmark results.

Hyper Pi is a multi threaded program designed to calculate Pi up to the 32nd millionth digit after the decimal and is used as both a benchmarking utility and simple stress test to check your overclock before moving forward with more rigorous testing. The world records for this benchmark utility are hotly contested.

SiSoftware Sandra 2014: In this program, I will be running the following benchmarks: Memory Bandwidth and Transactional Memory Throughput. Higher score are better in the Bandwidth test while lower scores are better in the transactional memory test.

X.265 Benchmark: This benchmark is used to measure the time it takes to encode a 1080p or 4K video file into the x.265 format. The default 1080p benchmark is used with an average of all four tests on each pass taken as the result.

AIDA64 Extreme Edition is a software utility designed to be used for hardware diagnosis and benchmarking. I will be using the Cache and Memory benchmark to test each module’s read, write, and copy bandwidth, as well as the latency test.

Looking at the performance delivered in this set of synthetic benchmarks, G.Skill's Trident Z modules are the class of the field. The only test it did not outperform the comparison group was in PCMark 8. Even in the PCMark 8 tests, the margin behind the top performing set of memory was small enough that you could call it a draw. High speed and tight timings allow the Trident Z modules to just about run the table.
